Clues

  • 2 stages of mystical experience = 1. An event/encounter. 2. A special understanding of that event as a result of ecstacy. Looking at the event which reveals it's religious importance. (4, 7)

  • Communicating with God (6)
  • Mystical = direct contact with God or ultimate reality. (5, 2, 11)
  • Observed a celebration of a saints festival in a portuguese village. The chanting monks captured her. She experienced Christ coming down & seizing her. He entered her whole being. (6, 4)
  • Purpose of life was union with God (& the purpose of prayer). Therefore, the purpose of life is union with God through prayer. (2, 6, 2, 5)
  • RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE TODAY - religious experiences show theres more to reality than this physical world. (5, 4)
  • St Teresa of Avila gives the metaphor of a garden; the earth represents the soul & water is the understanding of grace. (3, 6, 7)
